Letters

   

   

Dora,

In reference to Jeff Blick's letter, page 24 of the July issue, Yes, they are lightning rod insulators. They were mounted with a steel bracket that fits on to the bevel. The whole thing then mounts with two screws. Value? Well, the only one I ever saw sold brought $12.00. Just the insulator, no bracket. And this was ...                    [more]

Dear Dora,

Steve Freedman

   Eastern Regional Vice-President, 18 Highland Drive. Wallingford, Connecticut 06492

   

Steve must be a little camera shy, as he didn't include a picture of himself with his brief resume. But I fooled him. Ha! I found at old picture of Steve and his wife Pat in October 1972 Crown Jewels, as you can see from the print at the left.
